Back in the 1980s in the USSR there was an attempt to fight the insane levels of alcoholism by limiting access to alcohol . As a result , people started drinking aftershave , sniffing glue and switching to hard drugs. Some people say that the whole purpose of this anti- alcohol measure was to create a market for drug traffickers.
Everybody who needs to get drunk or high will get drunk or high. This is a problem that is not solvable from the supply end. All one can do is try to address it at the demand end.
